    What exactly do you want to know? This was my dad's car, it has a '32 K member with legs and the torque tube, 8ba, mechanical fan. Firewall had to be recessed a tad. This is running split wishbone up front. 20230304_103721.jpg

    I'm thinking 16 must be a typo?

    I've got 4.50s all round on mine so that would be a cheap option as I'd only need two tyres and no wheels, sometimes less is more!

    I wanted to get a closer look at your T but it was always parked by the timing tent instead of the pits.
     
  3. Yup - typo... I hoover up all the 19's when people fit 16's.
    I did have 5.00 x 19 Blockleys on the rear originally - probably go back to a 5.50 when the Michelins wear out.

    Beautiful car: What does have for rear suspension, frame kicked up or reverse spring eyes etc?
    Thanks, Steve

    Thanks Steve, it's 40 rear with pirches welded on top. It's got a posies reversed eye spring in it, the narrower version. Frame is stock. It had a stock A rear spring in it for a while but it was a little to high in the back, and the spring would bottom against the welded on perches on bumps, so the inch narrower reversed eye fixed both issues. 1685381911512.jpg
